Carp Commander 2016-2017

[Carp Commander]

Been chasing Muskrats for a couple weeks. I caught a couple of beaver and I have put-up several coyotes this year but otherwise been busy with other stuff. I have had two weird incidental catches this year. I have caught turtles and carp but never a sucker and definitely never a bird.

One of the two beavers I have caught for bait this year. It was a big one! Biggest I have ever caught.

Two incidental catches. The only thing I can figure is that the Grebe heard me coming and dove into the colony trap. Never seen it, heck never even heard of catching a bird in a colony.

No Grebe's were harmed in the catching of those muskrats!

Well done ! That's a biggie

I got my cat line in and pre baited heavy. Pulled all the doors, baited them heavy and put cameras on four of them. It sure is hard to brush in your cat traps when there isn't any brush!

Coyotes are looking good this year. I have about ten put-up and no sign of mange.

 Nice! Great to see the fur! Looks like $30 worth.

I sure hope coyotes continue to hold decent prices! I have a hundred rats this year so yeah that's at least $28 and those two beavers might get me to the $30.

Sounds like a good start to the year!

What size trap did you catch that beaver in?

What size trap did you catch that beaver in?

10x12x40 and it took awhile to get him out. Big Beavers will go into a 10x10 as long as it's long enough or has fast doors, it will be just fine.

Two more coyotes done. I stumbled into some weasel tracks so I am getting all my boxes out this weekend. Should be a good time.
